Mecalac goes platinum

5 December 2023

Mecalac is celebrating the 70th anniversary of its site dumper range. 

Originally licenced under the Benford brand, the company’s Coventry manufacturing operations have assembled thousands of models since the first unit rolled off the production line in 1953. 

To celebrate the manufacturing milestone, every site dumper sold from stock between now and 31 December will come with £70 worth of Mecalac branded merchandise. 

In addition, Mecalac will donate £70 to The Lighthouse Club charity which provides support for construction professionals suffering from mental health issues and other challenges.

Heath Davies, General Manager at Mecalac Construction Equipment UK, said: “Since developing our very first site dumper in 1953, we’ve been hugely proud to manufacture some of the market’s most acclaimed machines.  

“In recognition of our milestone, we’re giving away a gift for customers and a gift to charity for every stock model sold via our dealers between now and 31 December. The festive period is particularly tough for those experiencing mental health problems, especially in the construction sector. As such, we wanted to give back to the industry and give back to our customers.”

Mecalac site dumpers available include models from the ROPS TA range and the MDX cabbed line-up.
